Information Minister Ali bin Mohammed Al Romaihi asserted last night that GCC Health Ministers underscored in their meeting the existence of tough preventative measures concerning movement between the GCC countries, which Qatar did not adhere to.

In a brief statement on the “A Conscious Society” programme broadcast by Bahrain TV, the Information Minister stressed that taking advantage of the exceptional circumstances for political ends is no stranger to the Qatari mass media.

He added that bringing a group of people from Iran to Qatar and, then, the Sultanate of Oman without the knowledge of any competent authority in Bahrain raises many question marks.

The Information Minister pointed out that the discontent of many Qatari nationals in many countries in the world, with not allowing them to return to Qatar, is evidence that the current circumstance requires many preventative measures and medical preparations that are being made by the Kingdom of Bahrain in a well-studied way, and in cooperation with the relevant parties.

The Information Minister affirmed that it is unacceptable from a humanitarian perspective to exploit this issue by the Officials at the meeting Qatari mass media.
